I can't help with your substantive question and you haven't mentioned a
target date but ......
Diners #170 and 173 were renumbered to 307-8 in 1952
#171, 172, 176 and 177 were sold to NWS&W for scrap in 3/1969, 1/67, 1/67
and 8/63 respectively
#174 was scrapped at Eola in 8/61
#175 was sold to FW&D in 12/49
Exposition Flyer Burlington Bulletin #42 page 233 has builders photos of
#173 and #176, together with a plan drawing and notes
Simulated stainless steel started in about 1952, and plain aluminum paint in
about 1958-9
I've been keeping a list of SSS and aluminum paint cars for a number of
years but I can't find any reference to any DA-5 car getting the SSS
treatment, and only #171 and #176 listed as having received solid aluminum
paint.
So, depending on your time frame, you may not have many choices!
